Interface

Documents derive from elements, so inherit their interface. The document-specific interface is similar to the C++ interface; refer there for the full functional documentation.

####Properties

Python property Brief description Equivalent C++ methods

Methods

The following methods are exported from the C++ interface.

Hide() Hides the document.
PullToFront() Pulls to the document to the front of others with a similar z-index.
PushToBack() Pushes to the document behind others with a similar z-index.
